I joined F3 months ago and has been a blessing in my life in a time where I have self doubt and complacency issues. Waking up at 5am for a workout has helped discipline spread to other facets of my life. F3 has provided me structure and organization I needed.

”The most important conversations you’ll ever have are the ones you’ll have with yourself. You wake up with them, you walk around with them, you go to bed with them, and eventually you act on them. Whether they be good or bad. We all our own worst haters and doubters because self doubt is a natural reaction to any bold attempt to change your life for the better. You can’t stop it from blooming in your brain, but you can neutralize it, and all the other external chatter by asking, What if?” David Goggins, Can’t Hurt Me

Scripture

Joshua 1:9 “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”

B.O.M.

Winners Focus on Winning. Losers Focus on Winners.

How much better individuals could we be if we took the energy focused on others in envy and spent that time reflecting on ourselves? Do not compare yourself to others, focus on you bettering you. This will bleed into the men around us and to those we impact day to day.  Stop dwelling over others and spend that time in reflection and prayer of how you can become better for you and those around you!
Galatians 6:4-5: Let each person examine his own work, and then he can take pride in himself alone, and not compare himself with someone else. For each person will have to carry his own load.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Romans 12:2 challenges us to not be conformed to the world but to be transformed.  If you are like me, being transformed is not a past tense activity.  I’m undergoing it in some aspects of my life and my relationship to God and His will.  Fortunately later in the verse some Bible translations use the phase “by the renewing of your mind.”  That part gives me some grace.  Not everyone experiences it like Paul, being knocked off his horse, blinded, and being transformed.  A lot of us are a work in progress; I know I am.

Starting out as a new father at the age of 23, I had some transforming to do.  I had to put aside a lot of my selfish goals and desires and become the parent my children needed and deserved.  Some would think that after 46 years of marriage to Julie I would have most things down pat.  Nope, although transformed in certain things, I still have a ways to go.  Starting in 1980, I had to learn how to transform my definition of being a boss into the true meaning of selfless leadership.  Along the 30+ years I found it sometimes too easy to slip back into the autocratic posture.  If anything, this would remind me how bad that managing style really is.  I still need to transform myself into a more caring, empathetic, and serving friend to others.  I have a great role model in Julie that has helped me make slow progress.  My introverted style has hampered me in that quest.

My faith is perhaps the most important area of my life to transform.  Along the way we all have experiences that give us a jolt or a nudge and our faith increases.  Sadly things happen that knock us back.  God want us to place our trust and our lives in His hands.  He want us to trust and believe in his Son, Jesus, and He want us to follow Him.  He wants us to be transformed.  I’m thankful that He is a loving and patient Father.

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
We are often overwhelmed with the feeling that we need to “win” in life but are repeatedly frustrated with things out of our control (like pandemics and hurricanes).  A verse from one of my favorite songs at church reminds me of the truth: “The Lamb has overcome, the Lamb has overcome. The battle is done and the victory is won. The Lamb has overcome.” Christ has already won the battle for us. He has won the ultimate victory against our ultimate enemy (sin and death)! We are called to trust him and be faithful, not victorious.
